It's been a week since kushi had returned all are busy in their respective works kushi was on-site to check the construction work because her father's close friend mr.Sharma's warehouse tender was given to kushi so she was busy.
Preethi and Nischay have back to back meetings along side arnav and Aman as they are collaborating for upcoming fashionshow. Ar fashion house and rajwanshi jewelries are now talk of the town.
Abhyudaya was busy in hospital.
At evening rajwanshi sadan:
"Annaya yelundi Ugadi ga em chedam ammaamma vallu Mavaya tho Singapore vellaru bava ni chudadaniki mana andariki aa next roju chala panulu unnai" kushi said a little disappointed (brother dayafter tomorrow Is Ugadi what to do grandma and others went along with uncle to Singapore to meet our cousin moreover we have lot of work the next day)to Nischay.
"Em undi cookie manam ikkada celebrate chesukundam em antav abbu"
(Whats there to think we will celebrate here what say abbu)Nischay suggested.
"Ha ee sari preethi and Dad kooda manatho celebrate chesukontaru" Abhyudaya said (Yes this time dad and preethi will join us in celebration).
After hearing this kushi become sad and felt guilty. Her brothers guess what she was feeling and reassured her that everything will be alright.
Nextday:
Preparations begin they all came home early from works preethi was excited to celebrate Ugadi and so was parth he was reminiscing the time he spend with his wife riya how she used to run around making arrangements.
Dusting and cleaning of the house is completed.
Abhyudaya invited Aman and arnav next day to celebrate Ugadi but out of curiosity Aman dragged arnav to accompany him to Rajwanshi sadan.
Door bell rang preethi open the door and shocked to see Aman and a furious arnav whose hand was tightly held by Aman standing outside. She let them in and chandramma bring water and refreshments. Before any of the siblings spoke Aman asked "ee Ugadi Hota kya hai"(what is this Ugadi means) arnav was flabbergasted for this question Aman brought him here. He badly wanted to strangle Aman but he stopped himself.
"Ugadi mean yug ka adi starting of the year this a very famous festival celebrated in Telugu states(I don't anyother states that celebrate this festival you can comment if you know back to story) where we were new clothes and have Ugadi Pachadi a traditional dish made up of tamarind paste (sour), neem flowers (bitter), brown sugar or sweet jaggery (sweet), table salt (salt), green chilli (spicy) and raw mango (astringent). It is a symbolic reminder of complex phases of life one should reasonably expect in the new year. Then we visit nearest temple for panchaga sravanam means where a pandit or elder of the house forecasts the events of the upcoming year based on lunar signs, providing guidance and insights for the year ahead. And then my favorite part lunch a massive feast containing foods such as Pulihora, Bobbatlu (Bhakshalu/ Polelu/ Oligale), Burelu and Pachadi, and preparations made with raw mango like Dal and avakaya, rasam , vankay curry (brinjal), potato fry, rice and much more but first and foremost we pray to God ".
After listening to explanation Aman said "in short traditional new year".
"Yes exactly" kushi said.
"Wow sounds interesting. And what are you doing now" Aman points towards mango leaves.
"Toranam kadutunam obviously " said abbu. Nischay hits him on head and said "neeku obvious ee vallaki ardam kavadu "
(Tying garlands obviously)
(It's obvious for you not for them)
"What he ment to say is they are Tying garlands "
"Oh wow need any help "Aman asked.
"Yeah abbu was about to speak but cutoff by Nischay "everything was almost done right abbu" he gave him a meaning full look and abbu obediently nodded.
"Done we will be here early morning what say arnie"aman wiggle his eyebrow.
"Yeah sure what ever" arnav was never a believer of gods and festivals but for his friends he agreed.
After Aman and arnav left rajwanshi siblings continue decoration and it was 12:00 and they call it a day and went to bed.
Next day:
All were ready except kushi and preethi.
Arnav and Aman also came both wearing kurtha pyjama arnav was not at all interested but Aman practically begged him. Parth wore kurta dothi. And Nischay and abhyudaya wore panchi and shirt. Doorbell rang and riazadas enter. (Parth called them out of courtesy). And you know Sheetal tagged along they dressed up traditionally.
Men dressed traditionally too.
It was 11:00 when kushi and preethi come down stairs as they are in kitchen preparing feast. Everyone was amazed looking at both sister who wore oonies (half saries) both looked gorgeous and wore minimal makeup and jewelries.
Sheetal was burning with jealous as she dressed upto impress arnav but kushi stole his attention.
Arnav was looking at kushi mesmerized. His whole world stopped.
They went to mandir and pray then first have Ugadi Pachadi. Sheetal and akash put a disgusted face as they got bitter taste first but Anjali and Nani was somehow control their emotions.
Arnav was still in daze until different flavors hit him. Aman was throughly enjoying.
It's 1:00 pm and everyone settled at daining table to eat variety of dishes are placed
